Please let me know what you think it, I am always looking for ways to improve.

I only mention which cards are foil, promo etc.. just in case someone wants to make me an offer on this deck..

[Witchkingx5]

I don't really like Dead man of Durnharrow, why no Oathbreaker? Besides that, the Freeps doesn't look too bad.

4x Goblin Hordes to get Underling who grabs Bound to its Fate, which is essentail for this Deck. As for that, I'd include either Watchful Orc or some Site-Exchange-Nelya. to use Goblin Hordes to the max.

[MuadDib85]

Dead man of Dunharrow is for spotting requirements to play Shadow Host.

Four Goblin Hordes would be great, people are reluctant to trade these though.. I have no copies.

Corruption is easily possible with no Hordes though.

[SomeRandomDude]

Gamling is in there because....?

I may still have a couple copies of Goblin Hordes if you're willing to pay cash.

[MuadDib85]

Gamling grabs Erkenbrand's Horn, which grabs Pallando and Elendil's Army all at site one. Then kill Gamling, use Falls of Rauros to get rid of him and play your tenth companion.

[Witchkingx5]

What about Elessar's Edict? It's a nice card if you want even more than 10 comps, you could include Oathbreaker, Sleepless Dead and so on in your Deck and just pick the one needed for the current situation, amd discard useless ones with Elessar's Edict.

@NBarden: do you have sort of a trade/sell list?

[MuadDib85]

I have seen Elessar's edict used effectively, but I don't like having to hold free peoples events and self-choke. The biggest problem is having all copies of Swept Away discarded, I am thinking about adding 1x On Your Doorstep to combat this.

Thanks for the offer, but my days of buying lotr tcg are over. (Except maybe a  Faramir, BoQ)

I have one, paid just like 25 $ for it (or was it even less? 20$),but I don't think I'll ever trade/ sell him.

How much would you pay for that one? I think I got one of those as well.

I have an Orc Corruption Deck myself... I like what you are doing. Personally I rely more on winning the skirmish than that Bound to its Fate, so I pack 4x porter troll (really nice with Mordor Scimitar) Also in My deck I run 3x Scavenging Goblin to make sure I get possessions back. I just have one question, why no Orc Miscreants, if you keep him alive until the regroup phase he can be very nice... He is also Very nice with Gothmog Morgul Leader. Maybe you don't have them, i dunno.

[Witchkingx5]

Well, I also think one o two more Porter Troll wouldn't hurt, even though BtiF is really essential. Also some interesting cards,if you wanna go the fighting way, are Cutthroat Orc (the bigger the fellowship, the strogner this dude!) Entrapping Orc (self-assigning minions are always nice) and some others.

why no Orc Miscreants, if you keep him alive until the regroup phase he can be very nice...

second that.

[MuadDib85]

I used to run miscreant with vicious warg, with or without the warg he doesn't doesn't survive until the regroup phase very often against most decent fellowships. His ability makes him a massive target, I find mocking goblin / retribution to be much more consistant.

Gothmog, ML has been errated. If you use his regroup ability the orc comes into play exhausted.

Believe me, I have tried Orc Miscreant decks, sometimes they worked.. but not often.
